| 23:1 | Κύριε, πάτερ καὶ δέσποτα ζωῆς μου. μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃς με ἐν βουλῇ αὐτῶν, μὴ ἀιφῆς με πεσεῖν ἐν αὐτοῖς. |
| 23:2 | τίς ἐπιστήσει ἐπὶ τοῦ διανοήματός μου μάστιγας. καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς καρδίας μου παιδείαν σοφίας, ἵνα ἐπὶ τοῖς ἀγνοήμασίν μου μὴ φείσωνται, καὶ οὐ μὴ παρῇ τὰ ἁμαρτήματα αὐτῶν· |
| 23:3 | ὅπως μὴ πληθύνωσιν αἱ ἄγνοιαί μου, καὶ αἱ ἁμαρτίαι μου πλεονάσαωσιν, καὶ πεσοῦμαι ἔναντι τῶυ ὑπεναντίων, καὶ ἐπιχαρεῖταί μοι ὁ ἐχθρός μου |
| 23:4 | Κύριε, πάτερ καὶ θεὲ ζωῆς μου, (5)μετεωρισμὸν ὀφθαλμῶν μὴ δῷς μοι. |
| 23:5 | καὶ ἐπιθυμίαν ἀπόστρεψον ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ· |
| 23:6 | κοιλίας ὄρεξις καὶ συνουσιασμὸς μὴ καταλαβέτωσάν με. καὶ ψυχῇ ἀναιδεῖ μὴ παραδῷς με. Παιδεία στόματος. |
| 23:7 | Παιδείαν στόματος ἀκούσατε, τέκνα, καὶ ὁ φυλάσσων οὐ μὴ ἁλῷ· |
| 23:8 | ἐν τοῖς χείλεσιν αὐτοῦ ⁸καταλεμμφθήσεται ἁμαρτωλὸς καὶ λοίδορος καὶ ὑπερήφανος· σκανδαλισθήσονται ἐν αὐτοῖς. |
| 23:9 | ὅρκῳ μὴ ἐθίσῃς τὸ στόμα σου, (10)καὶ ὀνομασίᾳ τοῦ ἁγίου μὴ συνεθισθῇς. |
| 23:10 | ὥσπερ γὰρ οἰκέτης ἐξεταζόμενος ἐνδελεχῶς ἀπὸ μώλωπος οὐκ ἐλατπαοθήσεται, οὕτως καὶ ὁ ὀμνύων καὶ ὀνομάζων διὰ παντὸς ἀπὸ ἁμαρτίας οὐ μὴ καθαρισθῇ. |
| 23:11 | ἀνὴρ πολύορκος πλησθήσεται ἀνομίας, καὶ οὐκ ἀποστήσεται ἀπὸ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ μάστιξ· (13)ἐὰν πλημμελήσῃ, ἁμαρτία αὐτοῦ ἐπʼ αὐτῷ, κἂν ὑπερίδῃ, ἥμαρτεν δισσῶς· (14)καὶ εἰ διὰ κενῆς μοσεν, οὐ δικαιωθήσεται, πλησθήσεται γὰρ ἐπαγωγῶν ὁ οἶκος αὐτοῦ. |
| 23:12 | ἔστιν λέξις ἀντιπεριβεβλημένη θανάτῳ, μὴ εὑρεθήτω ἐν κληρονομίᾳ Ἰακώβ· (16)ἀπὸ γὰρ εὐσεβῶν ταῦτα πάντα ἀποστήσεται, καὶ ἐν ἁμαρτίαις οὐκ ἐνκυλισθήσονται. |
| 23:13 | ἀπαιδευσίαν ἀσυρῆ μὴ συνεθίσῃς τὸ στόμα σου· ἔστιν γὰρ ἐν αὐτῇ λόγος ἁμαρτίας. |
| 23:14 | μνήσθητι πατρὸς καὶ μητρός σου, ἀνὰ μέσον γὰρ μεγιστάνων συνεδρεύει· (19)μή ποτε ἐπιλάθῃ ἐνώπιον αὐτῶν, καὶ τῷ ἐθισμῷ σου μωρανθῇς, καὶ θελήσεις εἰ μὴ ἐγεννήθης, καὶ τὴν ἡμέραν τοῦ τοκετοῦ σου μὴ καταράσῃ. |
| 23:15 | ἄθρωπος συνεθιζόμενος λόγοις ὀνειδισμοῦ ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ἡμέραις αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ παιδευθῇ. |
| 23:16 | Δύο εἴδη πληθύνουσιν ἁμαρτίας. καὶ τὸ τρίτον ἐπάξει ὀργήν· (22)ψυχὴ θερμὴ ὡς πῦρ καιόμενον, οὐ μὴ σβεσθῇ ἕως ἂν καταποθῇ· (23)ἄνθρωπος πόρνος ἐν σώματι σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ, οὐ μὴ παύσηται ἕως ἂν ἐκκαύσῃ πῦρ· |
| 23:17 | ἀνθρώπῳ πόρνῳ πᾶς ἄρτος ἡδύς, οὐ μὴ κοπάσῃ ἕως ἂν τελευτήσῃ· |
| 23:18 | ἄνθρωπος παραβαίνων ἀπὸ τῆς κλίνης αὐτοῦ, λέγων ἐν τῇ ψυχῇ αὐτοῦ Τίς με ὁρᾷ; (26)σκότος κύκλῳ μου, καὶ οἱ τοῖχοί με καλύπτουσιν, καὶ οὐθείς με ὁρᾷ, τί εὐλαβοῦμαις; τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν μου οὐ μὴ μνησθήσεται ὁ ὕψιστος. |
| 23:19 | καὶ ὀφθαλμοὶ ἀνθρώπων ὁ φόβος αὐτοῦ, (28)καὶ οὐκ ἔγνω ὅτι ὀφθαλμοὶ Κυρίου μυριοπλασίως ἡλίου φωτεινότεροι, ἐπιβλέποντες πάσας ὁδοὺς ἀνθρώπων καὶ κατανοοῦντες εἰς ἀπόκρυφα μέρη. |
| 23:20 | πρὶν ἢ κτισθῆναι τὰ πάντα ἔγνωσται αὐτῷ, οὕτως καὶ μετὰ τὸ συντελεσθῆναι. |
| 23:21 | οὗτος ἐν πλατείαις πόλεως ἐκδικηθήσεται, καὶ οὗ οὐχ ὑπενόησεν πιασθήσεται. |
| 23:22 | οὕτως καὶ γυνὴ καταλιποῦσα τὸν ἄνδρα καὶ παριστῶσα κληρονόμον ἐξ ἀλλοτρίου· |
| 23:23 | πρῶτον μὲν γὰρ ἐν νόμῳ Ὑψίστου ἠπείθησεν, καὶ δεύτερον εἰς ἄνδρα ἑαυτῆς ἐπλημμέλησεν· καὶ τὸ τρίτον ἐν πορνείᾳ ἐμοιχεύθη, ἐξ ἀλλοτρίου ἀνδρὸς τέκνα παρέστησεν. |
| 23:24 | αὕτη εἰς ἐκκλησίαν ἐξαχθήσεται, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῆς ἐπισκοπὴ ἔσται· |
| 23:25 | διαδώσουσιν τὰ τέκνα αὐτῆς εἰς ῥίζαν, καὶ οἱ κλάδοι αὐτῆς οὐ δώσουσιν καρπόν· |
| 23:26 | καταλείψει εἰς κατάραν τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτῆς, καὶ τὸ ὄνειδος αὐτῆς οὐκ ἐξαλειφθήσεται· |
| 23:27 | καὶ ἐπιγνώσονται οἵ καταλειφθέντες ὅτι οὐθὲν κρεῖττον φόβου Κυρίου, καὶ οὐθὲν γλυκύτερον τοῦ προσέχειν ἐντολαῖς Κυρίου. Αἵνεσις σοφίας. |

What the layers are
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.
For Egyptian texts: the transliteration with the editors' marks turned into the symbols ° * < > _ ^ (ruled 2026-09-10). For papyri: the edition's Leiden marks as the same symbols, and the editors' readings beside the scribe's as ‹scribe→editors› (ruled PAP-3).
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
